Journal Article
Gao, Y., Han, X., Li, Y., Vigne, S. A., & Xiong, X. (online). Attention allocation: An empirical analysis of the asymmetric market responses to information shocks in China. Financial Review, https://doi.org/10.1111/fire.12425

Attention allocation—investors allocate their attention disproportionately within a day—has implications on how the market responds to information. Using high-frequency jumps detected in China, we show that the market underreacts to overnight informa...
